I have multiple libraries within my server and I understand that I can create Collections within each of the libraries, but is there a way to have a general “Collections” tab / option that will show all collections?
For example, I have a 4K library with movies, some of which are part of a collection within that library. I have a 1080p library with the same. Instead of having to go into each separate library to peruse their collections, is there a way to view all collections?
if you assign the same collection name in both libraries, you will see the content of the other library collection as “related content” in each of those collections. This can also be helpful to link related content across different media type libraries.
Yes, it needs to be in navigation and be able to tag any movie from any library as some collections may not have the same resolution (ie Jaws is the only film that is currently available in 4K while the other 3 in the series are BD, so would like to add the 4k to the other BD in the collection.
Assign your 1080p versions of the Jaws series in the 1080p library to a collection named Jaws.
Assign your 4K version of Jaws in the 4K library to a collection named Jaws
Opening those collections in any library will now display the movies from within that respective library AND the other quality versions as related items
Yes - in a roundabout way this works. It just looks a little disjointed having to scroll below to “Movies In (X) Collection” instead of having all of the movies in a clean line.
Would just be nice to have a “Collections” sections where one can add movies from any of the libraries.
I’m not disputing that. Though I’ll close this thread and kindly ask you to vote/comment in the existing thread linked above (in order to avoid distracting votes among different suggestions on the same topic)
Edit: apologies… I had mistaken this thread as a feature suggestion…
Still encouraging to vote in the linked suggestion
